Political Correctness

Hat/Tip to WeaselZippers. This is one of those cases of PC gone mad. I believe this school district and, in particular this principal will live to regret their actions. A second grader in McMinneville, Tennessee has been forced to shave his head after his principal said his “military” haircut wouldn’t be allowed in class. According to Adam Stinnet’s parents, the seven-year-old boy got a “high and tight” haircut to imitate his brother, a soldier in the Army who has served in Afghanistan. Just one day later, on March 9, the family received a letter from the principal saying the boy’s […]

Hat/Tip to the Conservative Tribune. “Where are we going, Mr. Peabody?” “Not where, Sherman – when.” “Okay, when are we going, Mr. Peabody?” “We’re going to a typical American high school in 1970, Sherman.” “Why, Mr. Peabody?” “To compare the common sense of that time period, with the political correctness that has the American education system firmly in its grasp.” Okay, okay. I’ll admit that I just recently watched the feature film based on the Mr. Peabody and Sherman cartoons because it’s now on Netflix. I liked the show as a kid and I liked the movie, so it wasn’t […]

Hat/Tip to Chuck Ross at The Daily Caller. In Georgia, as he was early voting, a man named Bundy Cobb was told to remove his hat before being allowed to vote. While he was early voting on Friday, a Douglasville, Georgia man says he was asked to remove a hat he wears everywhere, one that reads “NRA Instructor,” because poll workers said it was too closely associated with the Republican party. Bundy Cobb, who is certified by the National Rifle Association in firearms training, wears the hat in part to promote his business, True Aim Defense. But poll workers apparently […]

Our government extorts taxes from us whether we like it or not. They have the power and they know how to use it. They then set the priorities on how to spend your money. You have no say in the matter unless; that is, you think your ballot box decision are the final word. How’s that worked out for you? Right! So, we are supposed to take comfort that our political elites, from their vantage point on Capitol Hill, can be trusted set the proper priorities for spending your hard-earned cash. The thing about government’s misplaced priorities is that […]

What is this obsession with the rights of those referred to as LGBT? I understand and agree with the efforts to stop discrimination and abuse of these people. But, the Political Correctness Police are clearly after something more. Not only do they want that LGBT are accepted as “normal” and “equal”, it seems to this humble observer of the asylum we all have to live in that they want the general public to celebrate being LGBT as some kind special achievement. I’ve made my position clear many times. Being LGBT is not normal. It is in fact abnormal and […]

Hat/Tip to WeaselZippers. Just another case of the Fascism that is Political Correctness, so don’t worry, censorship is alive and well in America. Considering FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler refused to say the team’s name during the press conference, I’m guessing there’s a good chance they will ban it. Via The Hill: The Federal Communications Commission is mulling whether TV and radio stations should be banned from repeatedly saying the name of the Washington Redskins. Earlier this month, the FCC received a petition to deny renewing the license of Washington sports radio station WWXX-FM because it “deliberately, repeatedly and unnecessarily […]

Hat/Tip to Fox News. As seen on Fox and Friends Fox and Friends asked its viewers what story outraged them the most this morning. And this one out of Michigan was an easy winner: an Army officer was apparently told he could not enter his daughter’s school because he was wearing his Army uniform. His wife, Rachel Ferhadson, explained what happened via phone. Ferhadson and her husband, Lt. Col Sherwood Baker, had stopped at Rochester Adams High School in Rochester Hills during the day to clear up an issue with his daughter’s class schedule. But when Baker tried to go […]

This is a post that has been a long time coming. I have pondered some of these things in my mind for several weeks, having arrived at the conclusion that political correctness may very well be the one thing that causes the America so many of us knew and loved to draw her last breath. Political correctness should be the bane of our society. It should be the one thing we draw back from and reject. Instead, it is the issue that so many Americans, who should know better, are embracing. In doing so, they are embracing the death […]

Have you ever attended Vacation Bible School? Around here, we call it VBS and it is the time of the year, usually during summer vacation from school, that children gather at a local, or not so much, school to learn about the Bible and the principles it teaches. In the case of the VBS put on by our church, it is some children’s only opportunity to attend an event that is both educational and uplifting. Not to mention, a lot of fun. During the week, representatives of the local police and fire departments, as well as the local paramedics. It […]

To the executives at A&E Network; Something is seriously wrong in America when you can no longer voice an opinion based on your religious values without fear of some sort of reprisal. I am a Christian and like Phil Robertson, I believe the act of homosexuality is a sin. I don’t judge the sin, that’s not for me. Judgment is left to God as Mr. Robertson stated in his interview. Does this make me extreme or wrong? Only in a Godless society I am viewed as extreme and wrong and that’s what we are rapidly becoming; a Godless society where […]

Imagine that a five year old is surviving Leukemia, and has had this fatal disease since they were a toddler. Now, also imagine that Make-A-Wish arranged to make the little guy Batman for the day, and get him some recognition. Sounds like a wonderful story, doesn’t it? Well, not to some liberals, who thought it was terribly unfair! Stacy McCain has some more… To see how Ace completely dismantled her, you’ll have to click the link and head on over to The Other McCain. But before you do, just bear with me for a moment. I’ve said before that liberals […]

In the newsletter I receive from Crisis Magazine, there is an article entitled “Political Correctness Reaches New Low in UK” by Theodore Dalrymple. In that article he shares the story about a family, in Rotherham England, who has been foster-care parents for the last seven years. Recently, the Rotherham Borough Council’s Strategic Director of Children and Young People’s Services, Joyce Thacker, made the decision to remove three children from their care because they are members of the UK Independent Party (UKIP). I don’t know a whole lot about politics in England or much about the UKIP, except for what […]

What is political correctness, and what is it really all about? Bill Whittle provides on of the best answers. Give it a look. The caption in the video states that it might be the most important video you have seen. It might just be a true statement. Share it with whoever you can. If you are new to this whole “political” thing, it will be very useful to you.

I caught this over at Fuzzy Logic. I think this is Bill Whittle at his very best. Kindly take a look at them. They are long, but VERY worth the time… It is a great thing to see people that so thoroughly get it, and are able to explain it so very well.

Students leave the universities without critical thinking skills? And we should be surprised by this why? That was my first thought when I saw the title of the article at Memorandum. I thought that someone was demonstrating their grasp of the obvious, but you get the idea. Here are some excerpts from the article at McClatchy… NEW YORK — An unprecedented study that followed several thousand undergraduates through four years of college found that large numbers didn’t learn the critical thinking, complex reasoning and written communication skills that are widely assumed to be at the core of a college education. […]

As an avid reader, someone who tries to read most of the well-known classics, I should love to visit English classes. Imagine a class where students read and discuss the great literature of the ages- Plato, Cicero, Mark Twain. Imagine students reading the great books and classic novels of the past, discussing the wisdom of our ancestors, analyzing timeless dilemmas and conflicts, being inspired by beautifully written literature, and passing on stories from age to age. What a great class that would be! Sadly my recent visits to neighboring school districts showed me a different type of English class. In […]

November 1944 CH 2.0 News: In a shocking turn of events, Fritz von Manstein, a Major in the US Army, gunned down a dozen of his fellow soldiers, while wounding another 30. More as this breaking story develops. NBC News: “We must not rush to judgment on this tragic event, committed by a obviously troubled serviceman.” CH 2.0 News: This just breaking…Witnesses confirm that Fritz von Manstein, the US Army Major accused of gunning down dozens of his compatriots, yelled “Heil Hitler” before opening fire, and was wearing a swastika armband while committing the act. NBC: “Nazis and other fascists […]
